Tonight in a bar alone I'm sitting
Apart from the laughter and the cheer
While scenes from the past rise before me
I'm watching the bubbles in my beer
A vision of someone who loves me
Brings a long silent tear to my eye
Oh I know that my life's been a failure
Just watching the bubbles in my beer
I'm seeing a road that I've traveled
A road paved with heartaches and tears
And I'm seeing the past that I've wasted
While watching the bubbles in my beer
As I think of the hearts that I've broken
And of the golden chances that have passed me by
And the dreams that I had now are empty
As empty as the bubbles in my beer
